We’ve been asleep for too long, knowing that we’re prepped for the slaughter. We all know where this is going - circling the drain. Do we

resist the blade, or will we simply fade away? Can we

take down the metaphorical butcher, or will we end up on the plate?

I think we’re losing control

Too many things we don’t know

We’re at the end of our ropes

No need to go for the throat

You want to keep us in line in hopes that we will drown

We didn’t want to believe, that you want us to bleed

Try to suppress us, and push us down

Is this not what you want? You said you wanted a war

Instead of fixing the mess you made, you’d rather cut it out and throw it all away.

Crimson stains the floor, so you can keep your pay and walk away.

The suction saves you from the pain, you didn’t want us anyway.

But you have to live with knowing that we’re rotting In the clinic drain.

This is out of control

Will we ever know

They’re preparing the ropes

Tight around our throats

You want to keep us in line in hopes that we will drown

We didn’t want to believe, that you want us to bleed

Try to suppress us, and push us down

Is this not what you want? You said you wanted a war

Will we raise our white flags in fear that this could be the end

You wanted to hold us down

We saw this happening, watched it all draw near.

You wanted to keep us down

You say you wanted a war, it’s what you’re asking for

Pushing us to the edge, expecting us to fall

You want to keep us in line in hopes that we will drown

We didn’t want to believe, that you want us to bleed

Try to suppress us, and push us down

Is this not what you want? You said you wanted a war

Heads in the Sand

I hear a lot of talk and whispers

Panic lingers in the air

You’ll hide your face when it matters

Finding haven in your fears

We’re running out of time, which you love to waste

We’ve come to the conclusion, you take up too much space

You don't wanna change the world, you just wanna stay right where you are

You don't wanna save the world, you'd much rather stay, with your heads in the sand

It must feel safe in your little holes

You’d rather sleep than stay awake

You have a funny giving nature

By the way you stand says you’d rather take

I’m running out of patience, our window floats on by

You’re so afraid of failure, all you had to do was try

You don't wanna change the world, you just wanna stay right where you are

You don't wanna save the world, you'd much rather stay, with your heads in the sand

The line’s already been drawn

And if you’re not with us

You could be the problem, there’s no sidelines to watch it from

Keep your head down now

You don't wanna change the world, you just wanna stay right where you are

You don't wanna save the world, you'd much rather stay, with your heads in the sand

You don't wanna change the world, you just wanna stay right where you are

You don't wanna save the world, you'd much rather stay, with your heads in the sand

Divided We Stand

Brothers and sisters around me

Don’t you see what we do to each other

We’re standing here all alone

We don’t even know, who we are anymore

And we’re falling apart

That's the plan from the start

Disconnected and conquered

That's all that we’ve been offered

Divided we stand

Looking over it all

Asking what have we done

How hard can we fall

And we just don't know

How we got here

In violence we trust

With injustice for all

Pay attention to your thoughts

For they may not be your own

Does your hate have a reason

Or is this what you’ve always known

When we heat up the tensions

They break up the crowds

When you weigh all your options

You won’t get a pound

And we’re falling apart

That's the plan from the start

Disconnected and conquered

That's all that we’ve been offered

Divided We Stand

Looking over it all

Asking what have we done

How hard can we fall

And we just don't know how we got here

In violence we trust

With injustice for all

The media wants you to believe that we're all enemies, that we all hate each other, and that we want to kill, over petty differences.

But no. That's wrong. We're human beings, and we need to love each other. Don't believe the lies, don't believe the hype.

We forgot what it means to be human, we let institutions tell us what to think and feel.

If we continue this cycle, we'll never survive.

Turn off the television and live your lives.

And we’re falling apart

That's the plan from the start

Disconnected and conquered

That's all that we’ve been offered

Divided We Stand

Looking over it all

Asking what have we done

How hard can we fall

And we just don't know how we got here

In violence we trust

With injustice for all

Paralyzed

We’ve all been paralyzed

Can’t you see through all the lies

We’re gonna be sterilized

No colors, just black and white

We’re constantly screaming, and hopelessly dreaming

That someone will come to erase the lines

We’ll end up paralyzed

We are being programed, and we don’t know why

We’ve been fed propaganda, for all of our lives

Do we know what is real, or what we see on the screen?

Are we sure we’re informed, or what we can believe

Can’t think for ourselves

Don’t step outside the lines

Only use standard colors

Stick to the design

You gotta stand up for yourself you gotta fight

There’s a reason that it keeps you up at night

Don’t you wanna be free

We’ve all been paralyzed

We cannot see through

All the lies

We’ll all be sterilized

There’s no colors

No colors, just black and white

We’re constantly screaming, and hopelessly dreaming

That someone will save our lives

We’ll end up paralyzed

I wish that we knew, what the real truth, is that they keep, hiding from us

Don’t you know what, this will do to, us we don’t care, we can all be, bought off

I hope that we will wake up

but it’s easier to dream

I feel like we might need to really start over

I don’t think that we can fix these things that we’ve done

You gotta stand up for yourself you gotta fight

There’s a reason that it keeps you up at night

Don’t you want to be free?

We’ve all been paralyzed

We cannot see through

All the lies

We’ll all be sterilized

There’s no colors

No colors, just black and white

We’re constantly screaming, and hopelessly dreaming

That someone will save our lives

We’ll end up paralyzed

Can’t see through all the lies

We’ll all be sterilized

No colors, just black and white

Let the Giants Sleep

Do we know where we’re going?

Do we hear the words we say?

You’d just assume to blow it up

And look the other way

Leave the world as a field of glass

With nothing else to say

I hope you’d keep an open mind

Let’s die a different way

We're getting closer to the edge

Just the push of a button

We don't need better bombs

Or children dying in our arms

We don't need an apocalypse

We all know how this will end

The first bomb drops, we won't know why

A chain reaction fills the sky

Our time here is borrowed

So please, let the giants sleep

Unaware of the signs around us

Making craters where our playgrounds should be

Enamoured with the lengths of our shadows

The darkness grows strong

So does the size of our bombs

We don't need better bombs

Or children dying in our arms

We don't need an apocalypse

We all know how this will end

The first bomb drops, we won't know why

A chain reaction fills the sky

Our time here is borrowed

So please, let the giants sleep

We're all afraid of monsters

Yet we build the biggest ones

We’ll store them in the silos

For wars that will be won

Can’t we all just be quiet

For the horrors locked inside

When they hear your screams of violence

And come to take your lives

Creeping closer to our destruction

Bigger bombs for genocide

We’ll save them for our protection

Will it save us from ourselves

Will it save us from ourselves

Will we ever be safe enough

We need to let the giants sleep

We don't need better bombs

Or children dying in our arms

We don't need an apocalypse

We all know how this will end

The first bomb drops, we won't know why

A chain reaction fills the sky

Our time here is borrowed

So please, let the giants sleep

We're getting closer to the edge

Just the push of a button

If you want it, if you let it This might be... the end of everything we know This could be, this could be, This could be the end...As we're sifting through the ashes and rebuilding from the wreckage will we try to find the answer before we can ask the question is this really what you want, is this really how it goes, is this ever going to end, it's one thing you never know.This could be... the end... If you want it, if you let it This might be... the end of everything we know This could be, this could be, This could be the end...

Untold Stories

Hold your head up, you are drowningNo one knows how far you're fallingWhere will we go when the mountains are burningIt all settles down in the dustThey will never know this path that we walk throughAnd they won't believe it, but these scars will prove it's trueWhen the walls come down, the wreckage will stay with meAnd these will just be untold storiesMight as well not close your eyesWhen you can't find your way through the forestThe waters will rise, blinding our sensesBut it all falls into placeThey will never know this path that we walk throughAnd they won't believe it, but these scars will prove it's trueWhen the walls come down, the wreckage will stay with meAnd these will just be untold storiesThese are the things that they don't wanna hearBut these are the things that just don't disappearBehind every door these's a shadow, a mirrorAnd both belong to you...They will never know this path that we walk throughAnd they won't believe it, but these scars will prove it's trueWhen the walls come down, the wreckage will stay with meAnd these will just be untold storiesRipping out pages and writing them over and over againThey don't want what's realThey just want what's easy so it's locked away as untold stories.
